It is very convenient to discuss things with a fan like Qiugong Qingzi. Qiugong Qingzi knew everything about Yun Zheng's questions, but Yun Zheng wanted to use this to finalize the "bilateral trade" into a "formal contract".
It's not that this die-hard fan is unwilling, but that she is simply a layman on these economic and trade matters. The reason why she remembers many famous products is because she is coming to Wei this year and is worried that the Wei court will ask about Japanese products.
So I specifically wrote it down, not to mention the economic and trade matters between the two countries. How could she, the prince-in-law, have the final say?
You must know that Japan is also very unstable at the moment. The emperor seems to be stabilizing the government through the power of samurai group leaders such as Taira Kiyomori and Minamoto Yoshitomo, but in fact this power base itself has begun to have its own ideas and interests, and they are gradually dissatisfied.
After gaining actual power, his social status is still far inferior to that of the Gongqing family. A revolution is quietly approaching.
At the same time, the conflict between Taira Kiyomori and Minamoto Yoshitomo gradually arose. Minamoto Yoshitomo believed that he and Taira Kiyomori had the same achievements, but the rewards he received were far less than Taira Kiyomori.
The contradictions have actually created an undercurrent in Japan.
At this time, the Governor-General of Northern Xinjiang of the Wei Dynasty suddenly announced that he wanted to do a lot of trade with Japan. The effect must be huge. Everyone knows the benefits of trading with the Wei Dynasty. The fine porcelain of the Wei Dynasty is the most popular anywhere in the world.
It is a top-quality product that is in short supply, and the profit from it is astonishing. If the Emperor hears this news, he will definitely drool with greed, and how can Taira Kiyomori and the people of the Minamoto no Yoshitori Samurai Group let go of such a good person who makes a fortune and expands his strength?
What about the opportunity? Not to mention those families of public ministers who control huge power and huge social wealth, how can they not take a share of the pie?
However, although Akimiya Kiyoko cannot decide on the specific goods and terms of trade between Japan and the Governor-General of Northern Xinjiang, she can confidently and boldly express her affirmation that she is "willing to trade". As for the specific business transactions, Prince Akimiya Kiyokouchi said
You can report it to the country immediately and ask His Majesty the Emperor to send someone to discuss it with Yunzheng.
Yun Zhengxin said that trade is easy, but the key is what to do if Shi Jian Yin Shan
He looked at Akimiya Kiyoko, who was in love with his three handwritings, and suddenly had a plan in mind, and said: "Your Highness Kiyoko, is it true that Japan really appreciates Yun's poetry?"
Akimiya Kiyoko hurriedly said: "Tanhua's article is like the rising sun rising from the sea, enough to illuminate the whole of Japan!"
Yun Zheng was shocked by her. Even a young marshal as shameless as me couldn't bear such praise. He couldn't help but coughed dryly: "Uh, this... I have an immature idea, and I would like to ask His Highness Qingzi to consider it."
"If you have any wonderful ideas about exploring flowers, please tell me." Qiugong Qingzi nodded slightly and said.
Yunzheng said sincerely: "That's right. Yun is very grateful to Japanese friends for loving Yun so much. In order to express his friendship to the Japanese royal family and ministers, Yun is willing to go to Japan at the appropriate time to meet with Japanese literati.
Do some exchanges on articles and poems..."
"Is it true?" Prince Akimiya Kiyokouchi stood up and was extremely surprised: "Is what you said true? You... you will go to Japan in person?"
Yunzheng laughed, his smile was so kind, just like the sun in early spring, bringing people from the cold into warmth: "Of course, of course it is true. I personally sincerely hope to communicate with those in the upper class of Japan who understand the essence of poetry and articles.
If this idea can be put into action, I think it will have a very positive and important significance in promoting the development of literature between the two countries - this will be an elegant exchange destined to be recorded in history.
Meeting, grand meeting!”
Akimiya Kiyoko was so excited that she was a little incoherent: "When can you go...ah, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely greet you personally! Are you really willing to go to Japan? Ah, you are so great!"
Yun Zheng chuckled: "Of course I am willing to go to Japan, and I even hope that His Majesty the Emperor can grant me some land to build a beautiful manor in Japan that inherits the perfect Chinese style, because if so, in the future, I will
When it is convenient for me, I can often go east to Japan, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Land of the Rising Sun, and teach the literati who admire Chinese civilization some etiquette and culture that is only spread in the upper class of the Wei Dynasty... What a wonderful future it is.
, isn’t it? Qingzi?”
"Of course, of course, there is no doubt about it!" Akimiya Kiyoko was completely intoxicated. Not only was Yun Tanhua willing to go to Japan to meet Japan's upper class celebrities, but she was also willing to own a manor in Japan. She would also go to Japan frequently to serve the nobles in the future.
Explain and teach some etiquette and culture that even in the Great Wei Dynasty were only spread among the upper-class nobles! Oh my god, how come happiness comes so suddenly! Moreover, he actually called me Qingzi affectionately just now. Could it be... Could it be that I am sincere?
Have you finally impressed him? Ah, no, since Tanhua is so polite and generous, we can't be stingy anymore. It's just too easy for a mere manor!
"Your request is completely reasonable. Kiyoko can be sure that His Majesty the Emperor will not be stingy with that little bit of land! You just want to rebuild a city near Kyoto as your manor, and I'm afraid His Majesty the Emperor will agree!"
Yunzheng nodded very happily, and then suddenly looked like a magician, and found a parchment scroll from the bookshelf behind him, and spread it out on the desk, but it turned out to be a Tai Chi Bagua chart.
Qiugong Qingzi was wondering what Yun Zheng was doing suddenly with such a picture, when she saw Yun Zheng silently reciting it in his mouth and pointing his fingers on the Bagua diagram. Qiugong Qingzi was stunned by him and wanted to ask questions.
, but seeing Yun Zheng's face in deep thought, and fearing that his sudden words would interrupt Yun Zheng's train of thought, he had no choice but to hold back his doubts and look at this unbelievably handsome Tanhua Lang with flickering eyes.
"It turns out it's here!" Yunzheng suddenly slapped the table, and Prince Akimiya Kiyoko was so shocked that he didn't react. Yunzheng suddenly turned around and asked: "Qingzi, is there a Shimane Prefecture in Japan?"
"Ah, yes, that's right." Akimiya Kiyoko has not yet recovered from her surprise.
"Is there a place with very beautiful scenery in Shimane Prefecture called Omori Town, Ota City?" Yun Zheng continued to ask.
Akimiya Qingzi reacted now, but she was still surprised: "Tanhua...how did you know?"
Yun Zheng, the magic stick, pointed at the Tai Chi Bagua chart angrily and said: "That's what the hexagrams told me."
Qiugong Qingzi was really shocked: "Hexagram image?...How do you say hexagram image?"
Yun Zheng said confidently: "According to my calculations using the innate Bagua, if I follow the hexagrams and build a building in Omori Town, Ota City, Shimane Prefecture, it will be about one-fifth or one-quarter the size of the entire Shimane Prefecture.
The manor can eliminate about one-third of earthquakes and hurricanes in Japan... Of course, I am a magnanimous person, and doing this will also have some effects on extending my life."
Qiugong Qingzi was slightly startled and immediately laughed: "Tanhua is really an honest and magnanimous gentleman."
Yunzheng smiled, but thought in his heart: That's not necessarily the case
Akimiya Qingzi smiled and said: "If Tanhua only wants to use some places around Iwami Oda as a manor, Qingzi can make the decision and agree to you."
Now it was Yunzheng's turn to be surprised: "Can you make the decision for the emperor?"
Akimiya Kiyoko smiled reservedly: "As the direct sister of His Majesty the Emperor, Kiyoko owns the territory of the three prefectures of Nagato, Shufang, and Iwami (Japanese counties are different from Chinese counties, they are relatively large, and the owner of one county can completely
He is a daimyo, so the prince who owns three prefectural fiefdoms is quite awesome), and it just so happens that the place you want, Ota City, is within Iwami."
At this time, Japan's inner prince was not just a simple title and obligation as in later generations. In addition to having such a title, the inner prince at this time would also be granted the title of a city, a manor, and a land when the prince was declared.
Territory and so on, so the economic power is strong, and some particularly favored concubine princes will also be favored by the quasi-three palaces, so that the concubine princes of this era can still live a carefree life even if they do not get married, and even with strong financial resources
The economy is the power of capital in the political situation, such as Prince Sakikouchi, the daughter of Emperor Toba and Empress Fujiwara Touko.
Yun Zheng looked at Prince Akimiya Kiyokouchi and suddenly became three points more eager. Iwami Ginzan in Japan had been mined for more than 400 years. When it was at its peak, the silver production here accounted for 1% of the world's total silver production.
One-third, it can truly be said to be a mountain of gold and silver. No matter who takes it, he will immediately become richer than anyone in the country. Such a good place is actually awarded to this young Prince Akimiya Kiyokouchi. It's really...
…God is really helping me!
"So, Qingzi has already agreed?" Yunzheng's smile became gentler.
Qiugong Qingzi nodded: "I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear!"
Yun Zheng's smile became even brighter in his heart: He gave such a huge treasure mountain to this young marshal, but "he insisted on his wish and did not dare to ask for his ears." Alas, in this case, this young marshal had no choice but to be respectful rather than obey...
----------------------------------------There are more and more people in Beijing these days
Get up, it's almost autumn, and the day of martial arts competition is coming again
As a person from later generations, Yunzheng had always misunderstood martial arts before. It was not until he inherited the memory in this body that he realized that it was not the case at all.
The founder of the martial arts exam was Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. Wu Zetian hoped to enhance the core competitiveness in martial arts through the selection of the martial arts exam. This also determined that the martial arts exam in that era only tested martial arts and physical strength, regardless of strategy and intelligence. Therefore, the entire
The exam is like a military exercise, extremely noisy
The administrative code of the Tang Dynasty, the Six Canons of the Tang Dynasty, stipulates the basic content of the martial arts examination. The martial arts examination is a comprehensive test of multiple contents. The contents to be tested include long stack, riding and shooting, carbine, rifle shooting, talent, appearance, speech, weightlifting, etc.
The long stack test examines the accuracy of the candidate's archery, and tests the level of archery within a specified distance; the carbine, also known as horse archery, tests the archery on horseback, and examines the accuracy of the candidate's archery while moving; the rifle shot is based on straw people
In the archery target, test scores not only depend on the hit rate, but also require the standardization of archery movements; talent and appearance mainly require height, "those with a stature of more than six feet are the highest, and those with a stature of less than six feet are the second." Six feet in the Tang Dynasty is about the same as that of later generations.
1.8 meters, the requirements are obviously very high; the word "having a look worthy of a leader" is preferred. As for whether the look is present or not, it mainly depends on the examiners' feeling; weightlifting is equivalent to today's weightlifting, which is a test of physical strength.
inspection
It can be seen from the above examination content that archery and physical strength are the subjects that take the most attention, which directly affects the shaping of the heroic image of that era by later generations - in later generations of "Shuo Tang", physical strength is particularly valued. For example, Li Yuanba, Yu Wen Chengdu
, Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai and others, "powerful" has become the most commonly used compliment among novelists.
The admonisher Xue Qianguang said to Wu Zetian: "We opened a subject to recruit scholars in the name of 'military ability to control the enemy', but they only tested trivial skills such as bow bending and shooting vultures... Just like when the famous general Wu Qi went to the battlefield, his subordinates attacked him.
Wu Qi offered his sword, but Wu Qi refused and said, "It is the duty of a general to resolve doubts in the face of difficulties; charging with a sword to kill is not what a general should do!" This shows that this is putting the cart before the horse."
Xue Qianguang then listed the examples of famous ministers Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others from the Three Kingdoms, and pioneered the concept of "strategizing generals" - they may not be good at bows and horses, but they can strategize and win decisively thousands of miles away.
Xue Qianguang went to the imperial examination a full ten years earlier than the opening of the martial arts examination. This shows that he was not there for Wu Zetian's new policy, but for the selection system of military commanders at that time. Why didn't Wu Zetian listen to it?
Xue Jianguan's advice still adopted that examination system, and there is no information to answer this question.
But it is undeniable that Xue Qianguang's promotion must have attracted the attention of many people in the dynasty. In the following decades, the selection conditions for martial arts examinations became more and more stringent. This can be seen from the examination subjects of that era. For example, the establishment of the Martial Arts Examination in 735 AD
The "Department of Wisdom and Generals" established in 785, the "Department of Knowledge of Cave Strategies, and Qualification of Generals" established in 785, the "Department of Military Strategies and Talents for Generals" established in 786, etc.
For a long time after that, people's requirements for the cultural courses of martial arts became higher and higher, and the overall quality of martial arts also became higher and higher. The "Simultaneous Martial Arts Examination Strategy" that appeared after the founding of the Wei Dynasty completely recorded the Wei Dynasty's understanding of martial arts.
The content of the mock exam for the cultural class mentioned above. This set of mock exam questions has seven questions in total: Did Shang Tang use conspiracy to destroy Xia? Was King Wu of Zhou's defeat of Zhou in line with the destiny? Why did Duke Wen of Jin call him 'Bo' instead of 'King'
?Before sending troops in ancient times, soldiers were often warned with the word "punishment". How has the meaning of "punishment" changed? Why is it difficult for later generations to follow the principles proposed in "Sima Law"? Mozi advocated "non-offensive" and opposed war; Zhuge Liang's response to Meng
They were captured seven times, what was their wisdom? There were Qiang rebellions in both Han Dynasties. The Western Han Dynasty used pacification and the Eastern Han Dynasty used force to put down the rebellions. What was the reason?
The answers to these seven seemingly unrelated questions are surprisingly similar - "Benevolence and righteousness" are the foundation for governing chaos. A virtuous and capable monarch should learn to "cultivate literature through martial arts" to convince others with virtue, while force is just a tool.
It is a symbol that should never be used unless absolutely necessary.
Will this theory be welcomed when implemented in martial arts examinations? The martial arts examinations have prepared a lot of military knowledge, but such excellent military books as "Sima Law" are considered to be unlucky. The martial arts examinations have cultivated excellent skills.
, but they are asked to say in front of the audience that war is futile. Who can understand their feelings?
In fact, being both civil and military has always been the pursuit of life for ancient generals. Moreover, in ancient societies where Confucianism has dominated the world for thousands of years, it is naturally difficult for a man who can only practice martial arts to join the mainstream society.
) examination, rulers in the past dynasties held different opinions and fought over it. It was nothing more than whether to take the test and what to take.
The imperial examination system, which originated in the Sui Dynasty and was institutionalized in the Tang Dynasty, was greatly improved in the Wei Dynasty. Although there were still many famous nobles, the concept of entering an official career through the imperial examination was still deeply rooted in the people of the Wei Dynasty, while the military examination system was still deeply rooted in the people of the Wei Dynasty.
It is an important part of the imperial examination system. The martial arts examination in the Wei Dynasty had new developments on the basis of the Tang Dynasty.
The Great Wei Dynasty was the first to launch the palace examination in martial arts, and formed a three-level examination system of the general examination, the provincial examination, and the palace examination. The martial arts examination in the Wei Dynasty changed from the Tang Dynasty martial arts examination to only focus on martial arts, regardless of the practice of articles, and focused on examining the military theoretical literacy of the martial arts examiners.
The Wei Dynasty selected talented Confucian generals who were both civil and military. Although there were four hereditary generals in the border towns, the Wei Dynasty still institutionalized martial arts and compiled the teaching material - "Seven Books of Martial Arts".
, and closely combines military promotion and military construction with military construction
From the perspective of the concept of selecting military talents, the martial arts examinations in the Wei Dynasty were more conceptual and progressive. The Wei Dynasty paid equal attention to civil and military affairs, breaking the tradition of selecting generals with bows and horses, and opened up a new way to select military talents under peaceful conditions.
The tendency to select generals from high-ranking aristocrats has created an impact
In recent years, there has been a common saying in the martial arts competitions of the poor families, that is, the children of many generations of generals, led by the four major border towns, including the Central Army, are mostly dandy people who have empty prestige, but are actually just waiting to die.
